Session 8 - Confirming Roles, Script Content And Practicing Lines - 20/6/23

We started off the session looking at the storyboard to remind ourselves of the shots that we want to use in our short film.

We discussed whether everyone was happy with the script and everyone agreed that they liked it but they wanted to change the ending.

We finalised roles and re-arranged a date for filming as most people couldn't do the original date proposed. We have now all agreed that we will be filming for the whole day on Saturday 14 July 2012.

The roles are as follows:

Cast:
Tyler: Nicholas (Malachi stand in)
Paul: Michael
Mum: Actress
Dad: Actor
Gang leader: Paul
Gang member 1: Malachi
Gang member 2: Michael A A
Extras/other gang members/passer by: Nadia, Djed, Tom, Lanta, Karl

Crew:
Director: Tristan
Assistant director: Karl
Art director: Tom
Camera Assistant: Nadia, Nicholas, Michael A A
Edit assistant: Malachi

We had a run through of all of the scenes and practice lines. We made a few minor amendments to the script as we wanted the ending to be slightly different. We filmed the scenes whilst everyone was practising.

We finished up the session by going through our expenditure rationale forms for filming and promoting our campaign and filled in feedback forms.
